Abstract
Analyses of statistical data were made and their results discussed in this article to identify the level of Poland’s energy security and to determine the role of agriculture in ensuring it. It has been demonstrated that coal continues to be the staple resource for the generation of energy in Poland. The current demands and requirements concerning the reduced consumption of non-renewable resources and Poland’s obligations towards the European Union regarding the production of energy from renewable resources—all these considerations contribute to the promotion of a skillful development of energy crop farming, which, in Poland, is likely to be very successful. Agriculture plays an important role in ensuring Poland’s energy security, and this branch of farming can grow dynamically provided adequate legal regulations and promotion are in place. The chief resource for renewable energy generation is biomass. Straw and biogas production in agricultural biogas plants are two solutions whose full energy production potential still awaits to be tapped.
Highlights
The economy needs the essential supply of basic production factors, such as tangible and financial assets, demographic resources, technologies, and organization, as well as energy resources, all of which, in various structural configurations, have determined the economic development so far, and will continue to do so in the future
In order to meet the obligations adopted under the European Union energy policy and a compatible national policy in this area, it is necessary to use imported biocomponents
The authors yield variability, fuel consumption variability, and the instability of legal regulations
Summary
The economy needs the essential supply of basic production factors, such as tangible and financial assets, demographic resources, technologies, and organization, as well as energy resources, all of which, in various structural configurations, have determined the economic development so far, and will continue to do so in the future. The selection of the mentioned factors and their mutual proportions depend on the demands of the economy and the associated social expectations. This relationship can be disturbed by certain barriers, such as the scarcity of resources or their spatial distribution not being compatible with the demand [1,2]. As a result of the oil crises in 1973 and 1979–1982, there was a change in thinking about the energy sector By convention, these events got people talking about the transformation of modern energy, the assumptions of which concerned the security of energy supplies (energy security), and sustainable development. This energy transformation led to a radical change in the previously existing energy system towards a new paradigm of energy production and consumption
